A better start would be to send the President, his staff, the entire Executive Branch, Congress and even the Supreme Court to school so they can learn what the Constitution of the United States says.

Another blogger joined to pimp his blog.

When did Dreyfuss change his political stripes?

I think trying to convince the high school and college kids that America DIDN’T win its independence from Vietnam is going to be a real b*tch.

Civics in a ‘socialist nutshell’?

Amen.

But what would be better is for all politicians to read the Constitution and be able to pass a hard test on the Constitution before they are even considering running for any political office and that includes judges as well.

That should be the real litmus test.

Any politician or judge who does not score a passing grade, that is 70 or higher on such a written test, should resign or not run for office.

Civics Lesson #1: America is a democracy that celebrates diversity.

Civics Lesson #2: Discrimination, that is, showing discernment, is wrong everywhere and all the time.

Civics Less #3: White Christians are the source of all evil.

I’d wait until Dreyfuss fleshes out some of the pages on his web site before celebrating. Several pages are empty. And the pages that do have content read like he wrote them during a manic episode, and need editing.

The collected wisdom of Mr. Dreyfuss:

“It must be remembered that the Bush White House has a separate talent for character assassination that must not be confused with a talent for governance.”

“Kerry is an adult - he thinks things through. He learns from the present as well as the past. To George Bush, thinking things through is for sissies.”

“Cindy Sheehan is making a starting point with the questions she is asking and it’s not unpatriotic to ask them, ... It’s actually a higher form of patriotism.”

“There are causes worth fighting for even if you know that you will lose. Unless you are willing to accept torture as part of a normal American political lexicon, unless you are willing to accept that leaving the Geneva Convention is fine and dandy, if you accept the expansion of wiretapping as business as usual, the only way to express this now is to embrace the difficult and perhaps embarrassing process of impeachment.”

Richard Dreyfuss is a far Left socialist dork. You can bet any civics curriculum he’s involved with will resemble the old Soviet “re-education” camps.

If you saw the curriculum he’d propose, you might not be so enthusiastic.

I began reading this, and while I also believe that civics education is important, the first thing I noticed was the repeated description of the US government as a "democracy." It's NOT a democracy, it's a republic. If they are going to teach this sort of misinformation, imagine what else they're going to be teaching...
